1951 Map of Palo

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

The ST Louis River and Embarrass River wind through a landscape defined by glacial lakes and early mid-century recreational development in the Iron Range region. Near the township of Palo, the map reveals a social fabric built around community landmarks like the St Louis River Hall and the Rauha Cem. Recreational life is evident along the shores of Esquagama Lake, featuring the Esquagama Club and nearby youth camps such as Camp Sigel and the 4H Camp. This 1951 survey, updated with 1969 photorevisions, shows a transition from rural homesteads to more established lakeside settlements. Numerous smaller bodies of water, including Frying Pan Lake and Tikander Lake, pepper the forest and wetlands, while several Gravel Pit sites indicate local industrial activity supporting the area's growth.
